If you need an arm workout, here's what I've found is the best formula...

Curls? No.
Weights? No.
Regular gym visits? No.

Place an 85 lb dog (with major pull power -- Husky, Pittie, Bulldog, etc.) on a long 8 to 10 ft leash on a harness.

Find where the squirrels in your neighborhood hang out.

HANG ON FOR DEAR LIFE!!! PULL LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER PULLED BEFORE!!!! (ps. make sure you don't get leash burn... dislocate a finger... or get pulled face first as they drag you down the street/trail. Or through the bushes).

@isaackuo @tkinias @nyrath @cjshearwood yeah, this.
Windows are secondary to instruments and controls. Notice how they can be completely eliminated in FPV drones.

How long before we see a remote piloted airliner, where the pilot isn't even on board and the front of the plane has premium passenger seating instead?

SkipHuffman,
@SkipHuffman@astrodon.social avatar

@tkinias @isaackuo @nyrath @cjshearwood Infrastructure problems can be solved with the thoughtful application of regulation and money.

The question is do we have the political will to apply those tools?

Today I read one report that RFKJr has 17% of the vote nationally.

Then I saw this from Cook. So you'll forgive me if, despite knowing how meaningless polls are, I get nervous:

I sometimes thought my father thought he could't die while he still had books on his pending pile (a stab at immortality I seem to be replicating)... so, it was strangely touching to see Tom Gauld has had similar thoughts.

Trump returned to courtroom accompanied by Eric, Lara Trump, + rest of entourage.

Back in overflow, the rules are as strict as ever—even Chris Hayes

@nyrath The reason the Enterprise would plunge into the planet within a few minutes of losing power is that they were using the engines to hover directly overhead to minimize terrain interference with line of sight communications.
It's not like Kirk had to pay for the antimatter himself.

SkipHuffman,
@SkipHuffman@astrodon.social avatar

@Hcobb @nyrath
So if Enterprise had traveled with a destroyer, a couple of frigates, and maybe a few corvettes to use as communication relays they could have avoided a lot of trouble?

Confession of a Russian soldier!

A Russian serviceman recorded a video warning those who want to make money by signing a contract with the Ministry of Defense.

“Welcome to hell,” he addresses those on the Russian rear who know nothing about the real war, imagining in their heads pictures from World War II.

@Free_Press I'm pretty sure WWII wasn't great for Soviet service members either

AI-generated books on Amazon now have the potential to kill people, as they've moved into the realm of mushroom foraging. Guides have popped up like, well, mushrooms, packed with information that makes no sense and could easily be dangerous, illustrated with structures that are "the mycological equivalent of a picture of a hot blond with six fingers and too many teeth," writes Vox's Constance Grady. Here's more.

@doc @CultureDesk @bookstodon sure, but who are you going to sue? These tend to be self published e-books. Probably through shell corporations.

Speaking of
I am looking at "Tips for best starting stats" and so so so many sites treat Charisma as a dumping stat... when it is vital for making money in the game. If you do not have enough Charisma to make trading routes you are going to suffer badly both economically and just because you have to carry scrap around instead of having it teleported between your settlements.
